Permeability of Gd-DPTA into SU.86.86 and MIA Paca-2 tumors before treatment on Day 1 and 1 hour after treatment on Day 5 evaluated by DCE-MRI. (A) (B) (D) (E)Kinetics of the Gd-DTPA incorporation into SU.86.86 or MIA Paca-2 tumors treated with combination of evofosfamide and GEM or vehicle. (C) Comparison of Ktrans in combination of evofosfamide and GEM and control treated tumor in SU86.86 tumor (*P=0.041). (F) Comparison of Ktrans in combination of evofosfamide and GEM and control treated tumor in MIA Paca-2 tumor (***P<0.001).
Blood volume (%) changes calculated using MRI with the blood pooling T2 contrast agent USPIO. (A) (B) (C) (D) The images of blood volume on Day 1 and Day 5 in SU.86.86 tumors. (E) Comparison of blood volume on Day 5 relative to Day1 in SU.86.86 tumors (**P=0.004). (F) (G) (H) (I) The images of blood volume on Day 1 and Day 5 in MIA Paca-2 tumors. (E) Comparison of blood volume on Day 5 relative to Day1 in MIA Paca-2 tumors (*P=0.036).
